'.lhe nat-ure of my invention consists in the manner of fastening the leather holdback to the neck-yoke, andin the construction ot' the devices by mealns of whioh such fastening is accomplished,

Ilrorder to enable others skilled in the art to-whioh will now proceed to describe lits construction and operation, referringr to theannexed drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a bottom view of a plate secured on the upper side of the yoke; i l Eig'ure 2 is a front \'ie'\`v,}jartfn section, of the neckyoke; and
